Abstract
A decoction of Ficus carica significantly lowered plasma triglyceride levels in rats with insulin-dependent diabetes (streptozotocin 80mg/kg body weight) when it was administered orally (357±206 mg/dL before administration and 81±81 mg/dL 3 weeks after administration, p<0.01, n = 11). The plasma triglyceride levels in diabetic rats were also lower when the Gicus carica extract was administered intraperitoneally (608±391 mg/dL before administration; 444±310 mg/dL 90 min after administration; and 106±129 mg/dL 48 h after administration; p <0.005, n =7). The cholesterolaemia remained unchanged.
